OTTO F. STONEBURNER, OF ZANESVILLE, OHIO.

DOOR-HANGER AND TRACK THEREFOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 26, 1907.

Application filed February 1, 1906. Serial No 298,902.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Orro F. STONEBURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Zanesville, in the county of Muskingum and .State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Door- Hangers and Tracks Therefor, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in door-hangers and in tracks for said hangers to run on; and the objects of my invention are, first, to prevent the hanger-wheel from jumping from its said track; second, to prevent the door from swinging outward at either the bottom or the top when all other-stays fail, and third, to prevent the door from dropping at either, orboth, sides if other supports fail.

I obtain these objects by the mechanism I projecting downward from the under face of the horizontal portion of track-bracket 6 and forming or leaving a space between its said beveled side and the said horizontal portion of track-bracket 6 of a size and form sulficient to receive said beveled lugs 5 and to allow them to move therein, clear of all adj a cent parts, back and forth as the door is normal y opened and closed by ro ling said v wheel 3 on track-rail 7, formed on the upper face of the horizontal portion of trackbracket 6. Said horizontal portion of track bracket 6, its longitudinal shoulder or abutment 68,with beveled side 9, and arms 4 and vertical portion or body of hanger-arm 2 are of such formations and dimensions that beveled side 9 is adapted to form a locking-seat for correspondingly-beveled lugs 5 if wheel 3 or the parts sustaining it should break, thereby retaining hanger-arm 2 and its door in an operative position on track-bracket 6 until said wheel, &c., can be economical y repaired. Said longitudinal shoulder or abutment 8, with its beveled side 9, is further adapted to resist and stay the outward swing of beveled lugs 5, and thereby of hanger-arm 2 and the door, and also to resist and stay the upward jump of arm 4, and thereby of hanger-arm 2 and its said wheel. Track-rail 7 prevents Wheel 3 from running so near the edge of the horizontal portion of track-bracket 6 as to cause beveled lugs 5 frictionally to engage and bind on beveled side 9.

' I/Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination with a track-bracket having a horizontal portion with a track-rail on its upper face and with, on its under face, a longitudinal shoulder or abutment having a beveled side, and with a space or way between said beveled side and horizontal por tion, of a hanger-arm provided with arms having lugs beveled correspondingly to the beveled side of the longitudinal shoulder or abutment, said hanger-arm also having a wheel with a groove to correspond to said track-rail, and the formations and dimensions of said engaging parts being such as to adapt the hanger-arm to be hung on the track-bracket, the wheel to engage the trackrail, the beveled lugs to move, normally, in said space or way, the longitudinal shoulder or abutment with its beveled side, normally, to stay the outward swing of the beveled lugs and the door, and the upward jump of lugbearing arms and the hanger-arm and its wheel; and the beveled side of the longitu dinal shoulder or abutment to become a locking-seat for the beveled lugs, all substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
